I'm looking for software than can alert me to wide-range bars

Hi,

I'm looking for software that can alert me to wide-range bars for specific stocks. For example, if SPY has a 35-cent 3-minute bar, I would like to know about it, or if LMT has a 40-cent 5-minute bar, I want to know about it. Things like that.

Anybody know some software that can do this, or something similar?

Thanks alot,

You may want to take a look at Trade-Ideas. I use their scanner and it has that functionality I believe.
 
I have Trade-Ideas, and unfortunately it doesn't have this filter. It has "Run-Up" and "Run-Down" filters, but they are different, not quite what I was looking for. I'm looking for wide-range bars of specific sizes, such as greater than 30-cents, or greater than 40-cents.

Thanks. Any other ideas??

Do you have Interactive Brokers data? You can connect that data to Microsoft Excel. If you're a Math Wiz, it would be possible to make an alert for wide range bars.

It doesn't take a math wiz to do that...just some basic programming skills....probably can figure it out by visiting a few user forums online.
 
Thanks for the responses, guys.

I think the Excel programming might be a bit too complicated for me. I had Excel connected to E-Signal about a year ago with streaming quotes, and I could probably do it again. (I'm still using E-Signal). And I know how to do calculations. But how do you tell Excel to look at the high price and the low price of the current 3-minute bar? I mean how do you tell E-Signal to "Start the clock over again at 9:57:00?" for example.


Also Dinoman, are users allowed to specify the size of the wide-range-bars in Pristine's ESP? For example, can you say specifically "Alert me as soon as a 3-minute bar has a range of 35-cents?"

Thanks everyone,

You can also try TradeStation. In addition to being a good brokerage, they offer a multitude of charting and strategy tools. I don't personally use many of them, as my methodology doesn't require it, but there's a ton of stuff there. If memory serves me, I believe there's a built in strategy scanner for wide-range bars.

In addition, TS has a robust programming language and a huge user community. If you can't find the built-in strategy, I'd bet someone in the forums probably already has one built. I've had no problems finding the stuff I need from people in the forums - they're very helpful.

Hope this helps,

Pete
